Research

My research interests are in the area of international trade, SME Finance, Labour economics, Global value chain and FDI. I am currently working on four different research projects. The first research project focuses on the effect of internationalization at firm, sector and national level. The second research project aim to investigate SME’s access to Finance and how their ability to access finance affects their performance and their contribution to productivity and growth. We believe that a full understanding of the issues that SME face accessing investment capital and increasing their productivity will provide some insights for the policy maker and businesses themselves to address these problems. The third research project is about welfare and human capital in the different pension scheme. My last research project focus on women entrepreneurship.

Research impact

My research contributes to the existing literature by providing new theoretical model and empirical evidence. The result from my research also provide insight for firms and organizations in facing globalization and for policy maker with regard to the trade policies.
